An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-32779 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- envoy (Bitnami): affected from 1.16.0; fixed in 1.16.5, 1.17.4, 1.18.4, 1.19.1\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-32779/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-32779/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-32779","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-32779/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-32779","record":{"aliases":["BIT-envoy-2021-32779","GHSA-r222-74fw-jqr9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Envoy proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass path-based authorization rules by using URI fragments, potentially escalating privileges in Envoy proxy deployments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"envoy","vendor":"envoyproxy"}],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-697","name":"Incorrect Comparison"},{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-551","name":"Incorrect Behavior Order: Authorization Before Parsing and Canonicalization"}],"description":"Envoy is an open source L7 proxy and communication bus designed for large modern service oriented architectures. In affected versions envoy incorrectly handled a URI '#fragment' element as part of the path element. Envoy is configured with an RBAC filter for authorization or similar mechanism with an explicit case of a final \"/admin\" path element, or is using a negative assertion with final path element of \"/admin\". The client sends request to \"/app1/admin#foo\". In Envoy prior to 1.18.0, or 1.18.0+ configured with path_normalization=false. Envoy treats fragment as a suffix of the query string when present, or as a suffix of the path when query string is absent, so it evaluates the final path element as \"/admin#foo\" and mismatches with the configured \"/admin\" path element. In Envoy 1.18.0+ configured with path_normalization=true. Envoy transforms this to /app1/admin%23foo and mismatches with the configured /admin prefix. The resulting URI is sent to the next server-agent with the offending \"#foo\" fragment which violates RFC3986 or with the nonsensical \"%23foo\" text appended. A specifically constructed request with URI containing '#fragment' element delivered by an untrusted client in the presence of path based request authorization resulting in escalation of Privileges when path based request authorization extensions. Envoy versions 1.19.1, 1.18.4, 1.17.4, 1.16.5 contain fixes that removes fragment from URI path in incoming requests.","ecosystems":["Bitnami"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Incorrectly handling of URI '#fragment' element as part of the path element","id":"CVE-2021-32779","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","product":"envoyproxy:envoy","products":["envoyproxy:envoy"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2021"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect handling of H/2 GOAWAY followed by SETTINGS frames","id":"CVE-2021-32780"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Bitnami","fixed":["1.16.5","1.17.4","1.18.4","1.19.1"],"introduced":["1.16.0","1.17.0","1.18.0","1.19.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"envoy","purl":"pkg:bitnami/envoy","source":"BIT-envoy-2021-32779"}],"prev":{"headline":"Excessive CPU utilization when closing HTTP/2 streams","id":"CVE-2021-32778"},"products":["envoy"],"published":"2021-08-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Trivial authentication bypass in Envoy","id":"CVE-2022-29226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18801","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18802","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35470","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-15"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Envoy ext auth can be bypassed when Proxy protocol filter sets invalid UTF-8 metadata","id":"CVE-2024-23324","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-09"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Envoy vulnerable to OAuth2 credentials exploit with permanent validity","id":"CVE-2023-35941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-25"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Incorrect handling of H2 GOAWAY + SETTINGS frames","id":"CVE-2021-39162","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"Apache-2.0","name":"Bitnami","prefix":"BIT"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["envoyproxy"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass path-based authorization rules by using URI fragments, potentially escalating privileges in Envoy proxy deployments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-32779/"}
